Francis Underwood : [in the Oval Office] There's no coming back from this.
Claire Underwood : Oh, I know exactly what we're about to do.
Francis Underwood : If we fail, it's on both of us. I won't be able to protect you.
Claire Underwood : [takes deep breath] And what a relief that will be - for both of us.
Francis Underwood : The American people don't know what's best for them. I do. I know exactly what they need. They're like little children, Claire. Children we never had. We have to hold their sticky fingers and wipe their filthy mouths. Teach them right from wrong. Tell them what to think and how to feel and what to want. They even need help writing their wildest dreams, crafting their worst fears. Lucky for them they have me, they have you.

Catherine Durant : Francis, it's been quite a journey working with you.
Francis Underwood : Kalabi slipped into the country, and he's planning a terrorist attack against a voting centre in Tennessee.
Catherine Durant : And that is a terrifying proposition.
Francis Underwood : Well, I may need you to stay around the White House a bit longer, Cathy, until this situation is resolved.
Catherine Durant : Of course. I was only saying, it's been a good run.
